In the fall of 2003, Chris Bryan began the process of creating a wearable MC suit. He's been sending pictures of his progress along the way. In mid-October, he sent in the first picture of the faceplace he's using. At that time, he also ordered these gloves, for adding armor plating to.

On December 8, he sent us the composite picture (with a shot of the in-game helmet, for comparison); the red arrow shows where he was planning on fixing the first cut. Three days later, we got the next shot.

On December 20, the mouthpiece seemed to be in pretty good shape; we got two pictures, one of the lower jaw, the other of the whole helmet. As more pictures come in, we'll add them to this page!

On December 22, Chris sent along the gloves, and had this to say about them:

"I ended up making a type of "vest" with a Velcro flap for the armor plate to stay over the HATCH glove. The gloves are so nice, I just couldn't cut, drill or glue onto them.It ended up looking even better this way IMO."

On January 1, the helmet was finished. The paint job was quite a piece of work:

"Took me 3 different greens and antique gold to get the color as close as possible.The silver is Aluminum spray paint I used as a base coat before I started with the greens, makes the color stand out better.Fits like a glove. Now, onto the chest pieces ^_^"
